Abuja — To address various difficulties travellers face in Nigeria, a new one-stop travel centre has been opened on the Lagos Island in country. The new Lagos Island travel centre, located on the popular Broad Street, brings to two the number of such centres in Lagos, while the total number of the centres in the country now stands at five.

At the official opening of the Lagos Island office, Chief Segun Phillips, Executive Chairman of Peacock Travel & Tours Ltd, described the "nationwide travel-solution project" initiated by his company, as "a huge success so far going by the growing number of clients visiting the centres and getting solutions to their various travel problems."

He said: "Today, we are indeed very happy to open the total travel solution centre on the Lagos Island, thereby extending our solutions to travellers in and around Lagos and Victoria Islands. It means that any intending traveller can walk in here and have all his travel needs supplied under this one roof, travel needs especially in the areas of reservation and e-ticketing, online flight search and booking, hotel and apartment reservation, protocol services, taxi/bus hire, travel insurance, tour packaging, visa assistance, and many more others."

Phillips explained that the Lagos Island and Ikeja centres would serve travellers in Lagos, while the Port Harcourt centre serves travellers in the South-South and South East region; the Ibadan centre for South West; and the Abuja centre for the FCT and the North.

"That is what we have on ground for now but our vision and plan is to open at least one travel centre in each of the six geo-political zones of the federation to achieve comprehensive solutions to the different problems encountered by local as well as international travellers in whichever part of the country," he said.
